state movement. phese facts are given
ooncisely to show the actual dimensions
of the grand elimination and the infu-
ences behind the movement. 1t can be
stated as historical fact that the CON.
vention was the result of two motires
1st--the desire OF Aberdeen people to so
shape state as to give Aberdeen CEN
tral geographical position; 2od-ths de-
sire of the democratic administration to
prevent the admission of two republic
can states from the domain OF Dakota.
Any advantages or dIsad dgantages which
might come to Dakota through the pro-
posed statehood movement were mat
ter OF no consideration whatever. Ii
was the good of Aberdeen and the good
of;the democratic party that were oon-
sidered. Merely these and nothing more.
There were in the course Of the con-
yention several apesshss and several
newspaper interviews. In ali of these
there was no argument used beyond
the vague assertion that one state
is cheaper than two states. While
this allegation is not trHe, is does NOT
enter into this csse as material with
which to feed discussion. The move
ment has passed that point. The people
of Dakota have declared at the polls
that they wanttwo statea and the matter
of cost gis their OWE business, as they are
the ones who furnish the money. as
This convention which waH TO- he su.
perior In ell respects TO the votes OF II,
900 voters has dwindled down TO .
gathering OF psltry two or three hum
dred politicians and office holders and
very largely politicians and Office holders
of the democratic persuasion, egged on
by the alien head of carpet bag admin
istsasion. These are not the kind who
are to dictate line of action to the
residents and Taxpayers OF the territory
.oi Dakota.
The Aberdeen gathering formulated
an address to the congress OF tho United
States and will send 1t to Washington in
charge of q committee OF decayed politi-
clans, headed by the notorious Ordway
johnson. This is the list--it conveys
its own moral:

Aberdeen'a convention in behalf OF one
,tate government and the capital aspira-
nons of Aberdeen is among the events
of tae past. Accurate information re-
sasding the number present is difficult
70 obtnin, but it is evident that the rep-
was weak. Most Of the &C.
counts sent out we're the product OF
Aberdeen boomers and were padded by
enthusiastic reporters. The attendance
is placed by these acribes all the way
from 300 to 900. Augustine DAVIS, OF the
Huronite, was in Aberdeen during the
convention and the account he sends his
paper gives list Of the deisgstes actn-
ally present. This list shows that there
were present at the convention 66 denao-

dents, total OF lit from 80 counties.

after term of fourteen weeks. Those
having no absent, tardy or dismissal
marks were Cora and Grace Foote, Flora

The largest party of the season gath
cred at the pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. j. Nancy in East Middlebury on the
evening of March 8. 1t was the oc-
casion of Mr.. Manney's forty-ninth birth
day, and the reception was given to cele-
brate that event. The friends and neigh
bors assembled at an early hour to the
number of $50, bringing with them tok-
ems of their regard and appreciation of
the host and hostess as neighbors and
valued friends. The residence of Mr..
Nancy is one of the best and it seemed
to be especially planned for just such a
gathering. The large and handsomely
furnished parlors, the beautiful dining
room, and all the appointments of the
house betokened fine taste on the part of
Mrs. Nancy and commendable pride
and generous heart in him who furnish
ed means TO make this home pleasant and
happy and the occasion one to be re-
membered. Among the substantial tok-
ems of regard presented Mr.. Nancy was
a beautiful easy chair from his neigh
bors and fine Masonic scarf pin from
his friends; to Mrs. Nancy, an emblem
atcal watch-case of beautiful workman
ship. At the usual hour the company
were summoned to the dinng-room.
where the tables were loaded with every
thing to please the eye and satisfy the
appetite. 1t was here especially that the
skill and taste of the hostess became APP
parent; oysters, cakes. pies, fruits and
other delicacies too numerous to mention
were served and the beauty of the tables
were only equaled by the dignity of the
host and hostess in presiding. After all
had partaken of refreshments and al
hour spent in social intercourse the com.
pany began to say good bye. leaving as
they departed expressions of regret that
the evening had not been longer and the
hope of meeting many more times OF
such occasions. ID. Z. +.
